The Silent Interlocutor Blog

(11/20/23)

Just updated my phone and Apple made it worse again! I don’t even know why I do it anymore. It changed where everything’s at for no reason and it makes my muscle memory all wonky and I have to relearn where everything is. They are slowly turning everything into ovals. No more rough edges! Though only in the literal sense. I’ll just ignore it next time, but no! I can’t! Because if I don’t it’ll remind me every second until I finally acquiesce and the device will rub its hands together and snicker as the stupid Apple logo slowly ticks up and when I open it again everything’s worse! Technology is as mystical as any magic or phantasm. It is issued commands on high from some demagogue in the far away land of California that do nothing except make things worse. I own a slab of glass that I can alter with the mere movement of my finger that contains the collective knowledge of every human ever. I have no idea how it works and even if it was explained to me I still would not grasp it. It is the greatest piece of technology ever and I hate it. I preferred the squares.
